      <span class="emphasis"><em>foscil</em></span> is a composite unit that effectively
      banks two <span class="emphasis"><em>oscil</em></span> opcodes in the familiar
      Chowning FM setup, wherein the audio-rate output of one
      generator is used to modulate the frequency input of another
      (the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">carrier</span>”</span>). Effective carrier frequency =
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> * <span class="emphasis"><em>xcar</em></span>, and
      modulating frequency = <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> *
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xmod</em></span>. For integral values of
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xcar</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>xmod</em></span>, the
      perceived fundamental will be the minimum positive value of
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> * (<span class="emphasis"><em>xcar</em></span> - <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> *
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xmod</em></span>), <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> = 0,1,2,... The input
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kndx</em></span> is the index of modulation (usually
      time-varying and ranging 0 to 4 or so) which determines the
      spread of acoustic energy over the partial positions given by <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span>
      = 0,1,2,.., etc. <span class="emphasis"><em>ifn</em></span> should point to a
      stored sine wave. Previous to version 3.50,
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xcar</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>xmod</em></span> could be
      k-rate only.
    </p>
        <p>
      The actual formula used for this implementation of FM synthesis
      is
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xamp</em></span> * cos(2π * <span class="emphasis"><em>t</em></span> * <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> *
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xcar</em></span> +
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kndx</em></span> * sin(2π * <span class="emphasis"><em>t </em></span>* <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> *
      <span class="emphasis"><em>xmod</em></span>) - π),
      assuming that the table is a sine wave.
